Early Summer, Glendhu Bay II

This painting captures the serene beauty of Glendhu Bay in early summer—a time when the landscape comes alive with vibrant contrasts. Snow-capped peaks still linger in the distance, while lush green foliage lines the lake’s edge, and the clear blues of Lake Wānaka reflect the clear skies above. With this work, the artist invites the viewer into a moment of nostalgia. It’s a tribute to long, hot summer days spent by the water’s edge, swimming, walking and soaking in the stillness of the bay. Glendhu Bay is more than a scenic location, it’s a place tied to memory, feeling, and the essence of summer in Central Otago. This piece offers viewers a chance to step into that memory and linger there, if only for a moment.
